Using the visual examples students experimented with in a lab students will need to identify the macromolecule using appropriate vocabulary in complete sentences.
Example:
What macromolecule is this and what is its monomer?
(hold up bread, oil, and egg for each of 3 questions)
Rubric
1: Wrote a macromolecule (not the correct one).
2: Wrote macromolecule correctly but no monomer.
3: Wrote macromolecule and monomer (monomer wrong).
4: Wrote correct macromolecule and monomer but with wrong spelling.
5: Wrote correct macromolecule and correct monomer with correct spelling.

Performance Behaviors
Pefect spelling & Answers
Answers writting in correct columns.
Inferences
Students had notes
Students could remember lab from day before
Students listened to direction.
Obstacles
Students wrote in wrong boxes
Students were flip flopping monomers and macromolecules.
Inferences
May have been some instructional error
Students have trouble determining the difference between macromolecule and monomer.
Students forgot notes
Students were distracted
Smart Goal: The percentage of biology students scoring proficient or higher in macromolecules will increase from 81% to 95% by the end of September as measured by the unit assessment administered on September 24th.
Instructional:
1. Graphic Organizers
2. Guided Notes
3. Word Wall
Resources:Proceses:
1. Construction Material 1. Cut and Paste Activity
2. Powerpoint Notes 2. Quiz
3. Paper
4. Time
5. Scissors
IF the teacher is explicit in instruction THEN the percentage of students proficient or above will increase.
IF...teacher behaviors THEN...student behaviors
1. Good classroom management (redirecting students, participation mandatory) 1. Will be better listeners (not distracted, quietly working)
2. Models behavior and expectations 2. Will complete their tasks
3. Explicitly models instruction 3. Will comprehend material (writing inside the box not outside)
UNIT 3 SMART GOALS
The percentage of biology students scoring proficient or higher in Ecology will increase from 25% to 45% by the beginning of December as measured by comprehensive quiz administered on December 3rd.

Instructional Strategies:
1. Continue with Graphic Organizers DIFFERENTIATE for 3 levels
2. Assign students to WIN program when work is missing
3. Add more labs!
4. TDA for vocab. emphasis and writing and using.
5. Increasing riggor
UNIT 4-5 SMART GOALS
The percentage of biology students scoring proficient or higher in DNA Structure and Replication will increase from 17% to 60% by March 2nd as measured by a summative assessment given as a quiz on February 25th. Pre-Assessment Data

If teacher models chunking the text, then students will be better able to chunck out text
If teacher uses student friendly text and language, then students will be able to better access text
If teacher relates text to background knowledge & real world examples, then students will be able to better connect and be energized about text.
